I found a way you can beat it on elite. It took me a while but I found a way. I always found the problem to be if you powered your way through, Peter Davion Died becouse you were to slow, and if you ran up the hill to defend you would end up dieing. I ran this in a Loki (Hellbringer) with ECM and BAP, and my lace mate were in assualt class Mechs. If once you beat off the Nav Alpha defenders, if you just let your two lances cover you, run up to the top of the hill left of the stroung point deffe
Respond to this video... deffece, and you should see a longbow on sensors, take a pot shot at him and draw him toward your team. THat will draw off about 5 mechs from Petters lance and give him time. From there just do your thing and take everything out. You still might need to go help him after you draw away the some of the mechs from him. It is do able, but it is very hard. I did it with no cheats. Using this method I can now beat it on elite.
Overlord on elite settings becomes a game of luck. I became so frustrated with Peter Duck walking into certain death (for the 17th time) that I fragged him a couple of times myself. The trick is to join up with Peter Steiner-DeathWish as quickly as possible.
Difficulty on this video is very easy . Overlord is impossible on vet and elite. There is absolutely no way to win. Even took me 13 tries to beat it on elite while using INVINCIBILITY. You can still lose if davion gets killed, which only takes 15-20 seconds from time he spawns. Listen to the audio after nav beta ... "Stay out of 600 meters of the Overlord and you'll be out of range". BS on veteran and elite, dropship range is 1000 meters and it can actually kill any mech in one shot. Impossible
the difficulty here was veteran (instant action). This means that I had unlimited chassis and weapon resources, making the mission easiar than in the campaign mode. Unfortunately back then I didn't have a suitable campaign save.
The overlord boasts multiple light gauss rifles (1200m range), as you can see after 4:30. In addition to this it has lasers which range 600m. When engaging the monster be sure to walk sideaways to avoid the worst of the gauss fire.
@starflame10 dude i know! Took me 4 freaking tries to beat this mission!! The hard part about it is that Peter always dies and the dropship always kills me!! What mech you use i would def use the Fafnir or the Atlas on this??
I finally managed to complete the mission after outfitting a unit with 6 daishis, two victors and an atlas. I think this is probably the third hardest mission in the game.
Funny thing was that after every enemy unit was destroyed this Peter I-can-not-fight-for-shit guy was trying to take out a gauss turret at 300 meters with his Fafnir. It took at least two minutes, before I came in and finished it off with one salvo from my Daishi. After that he walked straight into the Overlord and didn´t fire a single time. I hate these protect this or that-missions. There´s too much stuff happening thats pure luck and out of your hands.
Playing on ELITE with no cheats - this is the hardest mission. It would still be very hard, but Peter suicides so many times that it turns into a game of luck. I had a mix of Assaults. My 'Mech I will either use a Fafnir with two clan PPCs and a Heavy Gauss with a clan Gauss (each with an additional ton of ammo) or a Daishi with 3 clan Gauss and 1 PPC (each with an extra ton of ammo). I skimp out on the leg armor too.
My technicque is I rush to where Peter spawns and order to defend him.
What´s the difficulty level here. For this seems an impossible mission on veteran. Mostly beacuse that idiot Peter Steiner-Davion can´t fight for shit and gets killed all the time.
I know what you're talking about. This recording is from veteran difficulty (instant action). I did the same recording in elite, but lost two wingmen, so didn't upload it.
I recommend doing exactly the opposite what castle suggests; over-extend yourself as far left as possible and join with Peter's lance. That way you can protect him, and shoot the Overlord from relative safety of the hilly slope. For me cUAC2 worked well in this mission.
i just noticed you hud looks different from mine, especially your mech's hitzones (schematic view of the mech for me) and the reticule. how come?

yeah i prefer Warlords to Atlas', because of their overall more capable use than an atlas, but to each is own.

A good strategy would be knock out one of Peter's legs. That way he won't rush in and get himself killed.
